''Imaginative, illuminating and innovative'' The New York Times Book ReviewThe grisly spectacle of public executions and torture of centuries ago has been replaced by the penal system in western society - but has anything really changed?In his revolutionary work on control and power relations in our public institutions, Michel Foucault argues that the development of prisons, police organizations and legal hierarchies has merely changed the focus of domination from our bodies to our souls. Even schools, factories, barracks and hospitals, in which an individual''s time is controlled hour by hour, are part of a disciplinary society. ''Foucault''s genius is called forth into the eloquent clarity of his passions ... his best book'' Washington Post

In this classic account of madness, Michel Foucault shows once and for all why he is one of the most distinguished European philosophers since the end of World War II. Madness and Civilization, Foucault''s first book and his finest accomplishment, will change the way in which you think about society. Evoking shock, pity and fascination, it might also make you question the way you think about yourself.

''Foucault must be reckoned with by humanists, social scientists, and political activists'' The New York Times Book ReviewSociety Must Be Defended is Michel Foucault''s devastating critique of the systems of power and control inherent in civilization. Taken from a series of lectures given by Foucault at the Collége de France in 1975-76, it reveals how war is the foundation of all power relations, and politics ultimately a continuation of battlefield violence. He offers a politically charged re-reading of history, with examples ranging from the Trojan myth to Nazi Germany, to show a continual, ''silent war'' between the powerful and the powerless.''A timely and prescient book, mainly because of what it says about the way in which war is necessary as a means of control'' New StatesmanTranslated by David Macey

When one defines "order" as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was The Order of Things that established Foucault''s reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls "exotic charm". Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.

Foucaultova disertační práce Historie šílenství je prvním z jeho velkých "archeologických" spisů. Jejím tématem je způsob, jakým byl v moderních evropských dějinách pojímán fenomén šílenství. Foucault zde analyzuje - počínaje tím, co označuje jako "velké uvěznění" - několik historických konstelací, které v nejrůznějších kontextech charakterizovaly vztah západní kultury k postavě šílence. Šílenství je zde spíše než jako biologický či medicínský fakt analyzováno jako kulturní jev, jehož tvářnost se v moderní době pozoruhodně proměňovala od epochy k epoše. Foucault se sice od tohoto textu později do jisté míry distancoval, pro nás je ovšem podstatné, že Historie šílenství nese všechny charakteristické rysy Foucaultova raného myšlení: diskontinuitní pojetí dějin, tendenci uvažovat o dějinách spíše se zřetelem k prostoru než k času, a také jistý estetizující rozměr, zcela zjevně patrný zvláště na posledních stránkách knihy, kde Foucault uvádí šílenství do vztahu k literatuře s pomocí pojmu "absence díla". Nezkrácené původní vydání, které je zde v českém překladu publikováno poprvé, rovněž obsahuje pasáž o Descartesovi a o vztahu mezi myslícím subjektem a možností šílenství. Právě tato pasáž díky pozdější reakci z pera Jacquese Derridy (a následné ostré Foucaultově odpovědi) zavdala podnět k jedné z nejslavnějších filosofických polemik 20. století.

''Bristles with provocative insights into the tangled liaisons of sex and self'' Times Higher EducationIn the third volume of his acclaimed examination of sexuality in modern Western society, Foucault investigates the Golden Age of Rome to reveal a decisive break from the classical Greek version of sexual pleasure. Exploring the moral reflections of philosophers and physicians of the era, he identifies a growing anxiety over sexual activity and its consequences. At the core of this transformation Foucault found the principles of the ''care of the self'': the belief that the self is an object of knowledge to be cultivated over time, and the implications this has for ethics and behaviour.''Magnificent ... Foucault''s great achievement is to illuminate an entire and cohesive body of thought. It is brilliantly done'' Daily Telegraph

''A brilliant display of fireworks, attacking the widespread and banal notion that "in the beginning" sexual activity was guilt-free and delicious, being repressed and blighted only by the gloom of Victorianism'' Spectator We talk about sex more and more, but are we more liberated? The first part of Michel Foucault''s landmark account of our evolving attitudes in the west shows how the nineteenth century, far from suppressing sexuality, led to an explosion of discussion about sex as a separate sphere of life for study and examination. As a result, he argues, we are making a science of sex which is devoted to the analysis of desire rather than the increase of pleasure.

Oproti mechanismům, jimiž se panovník až do doby klasicismu snažil zajistit bezpečí svého teritoria, staví Foucault technologie bezpečnosti, resp. korelace mezi nimi a populací. "Teritorium" a "populace" slouží jako protikladné póly, mezi nimiž se jeho uvažování rozvíjí. Jak došlo k přechodu od svrchovanosti nad teritoriem k regulaci populace? Jaké byly účinky této proměny na rovině vládních praktik? Objevení se populace jako ideje a jako reality nebylo důležité jen na politické úrovni, mělo také dopad na epistemologické úrovni. Analýza bezpečnostních dispozitivů vztahujících se k populaci vedla Foucaulta postupně k tomu, že zdůraznil pojem "vlády". Ve svém tradičním smyslu veřejné moci nebo výkonu svrchovanosti nakonec ztratil váhu a začal označovat techniky specifické pro správu populací. Problematický trojúhelník, který sloužil jako původní rámec výzkumu, tak byl nahrazen systematickou řadou bezpečnost-populace-vláda, spolu s níž Foucault v tomto přednáškovém cyklu zavedl pojem "guvernementalita", jímž se od historie bezpečnostních technologií dostal až ke genealogii moderního státu.

''Who since Weber, or perhaps even Hobbes, has done as much to show why power is such a profound, elusive and treacherous presence throughout our experience?'' The Times Higher EducationThe third and final volume of the Essential Works of Foucault series, Power brings together his writings on the issues that he helped make the core agenda of Western political culture: medicine, prisons, psychiatry, government and sexuality, in particular showing his concerns with human rights, discrimination and exclusion.

Přestože studie H. L. Dreyfuse a P. Rabinowa je jednou z vůbec prvních knižních publikací věnovaných Michelu Foucaultovi, stále patří k těm nejdůkladnějším a nejoriginálějším knihám, které byly tomuto filosofovi kdy věnovány. Autoři systematicky zkoumají Foucaultovo - v době vydání jejich textu dosud neuzavřené - dílo, přičemž základním výchozím bodem se pro ně stává Foucaultův "metodologický" spis Archeologie vědění. Na tomto základě potom vymezují Foucaultovo myšlení jak vůči strukturalismu, tak vůči hermeneutice, a interpretují všechny klíčové motivy Foucaultova teoretického projektu: teorii diskursu, subjektu, moci, rozdíl mezi archeologií a genealogií atd. Kniha je doplněna rozhovorem se samotným Foucaultem, a také jeho textem týkajícím se otázky moci.

Nejde zde jen o důkladný rozbor díla jedné z nejzajímavějších a nejbizarnějších postav francouzské literatury, díky němuž Roussel po dlouhém období zapomnění vstoupil do povědomí čtenářů, ale také o vybudování určité teorie vztahu mezi subjektem, řečí a světem. Právě zde se Foucault snad nejvýrazněji přibližuje budování něčeho, co by nebylo přehnané nazvat jeho svébytnou ontologií.

René Descartes was a central figure in the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. In his Discourse on Method he outlined the contrast between mathematics and experimental sciences, and the extent to which each one can achieve certainty. Drawing on his own work in geometry, optics, astronomy and physiology, Descartes developed the hypothetical method that characterizes modern science, and this soon came to replace the traditional techniques derived from Aristotle. Many of Descartes'' most radical ideas - such as the disparity between our perceptions and the realities that cause them - have been highly influential in the development of modern philosophy.

A meditation on the social political and philosophical questions of ageing, from the internationally acclaimed author of Returning to ReimsA few years ago, Didier Eribon’s mother began to lose her physical and cognitive autonomy. After several months of resistance, Eribon and his brothers were compelled to place her in a nursing home. A few short weeks later, his mother passed away. In The Life, Old Age, and Death of a Working-Class Woman, Eribon continues the historical, political and personal reflection he began with Returning to Reims, this time turning his attention to the end of life. Tracing his mother’s rapid decline, and drawing on works by Simone de Beauvoir, Norbert Elias, Annie Ernaux and Michel Foucault, among others, Eribon transmutes his rage, sadness and the shame over her death into a strikingly nuanced portrait of the woman who raised him. Here, Eribon asks: how does our society treat the elderly? What is the place of bodies that can no longer assemble, discuss freedom or protest? Can the completely dependent speak for themselves – and if not, who can speak for them?An honest, original and wide-ranging exploration of the relationship between ageing and class, politics and literature, this is a profound meditation on a fundamental human experience, too often overlooked.

Painting is an almost inconceivably ancient activity that remains vigorously alive in the twenty-first century. Every successful painting creates a new world, which we inhabit for as long as we care to look at it. Paintings can incorporate profound ideas and paradoxes that can be grasped without words.

In this lecture series, acclaimed teacher Dr. David R. Hawkins explains how we can transcend lower levels of consciousness and experience the highest levels in the Map of Consciousness®. How do we go from the 400s to the 500s? Theology, philosophy, and epistemology will lead us up to the doorway but cannot lead us through the doorway. “The way out of the box” is through Love, Joy, Peace, Beauty, Consideration, Devotion, and the reverence for Truth, which is the appreciation of all that is sacred. In this book, Dr. David Hawkins goes on to explore how everything is happening spontaneously and that nothing is causing anything. He then talks about content and how it relates to context and how to love your humanness. Some of the many topics discussed include:· Transcending duality, no-mind, silence,· Asking “Who am I?” vs. “What am I?”· Stillness, letting go, aligning with integrity, and dissolving content into context· Loving your animal nature· The concept of “happening” being illusory· And much more!

A revelatory resituation of Van Gogh’s familiar works in the company of the surprising variety of nineteenth-century art and literature he most revered Vincent van Gogh’s (1853–1890) idiosyncratic style grew out of a deep admiration for and connection to the nineteenth-century art world. This fresh look at Van Gogh’s influences explores the artist’s relationship to the Barbizon School painters Jean-François Millet and Georges Michel—Van Gogh’s self-proclaimed mentors—as well as to Realists like Jean-François Raffaëlli and Léon Lhermitte. New scholarship offers insights into Van Gogh’s emulation of Adolphe Monticelli, his absorption of the Hague School through Anton Mauve and Jozef Israëls, and his keen interest in the work of the Impressionists. This copiously illustrated volume also discusses Van Gogh’s allegiance to the colorism of Eugène Delacroix, as well as his alliance with the Realist literature of Charles Dickens and George Eliot. Although Van Gogh has often been portrayed as an insular and tortured savant, Through Vincent’s Eyes provides a fascinating deep dive into the artist’s sources of inspiration that reveals his expansive interest in the artistic culture of his time. Eik Kahng is deputy director and chief curator at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

An insightful study of Walter Benjamin, one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, by the Italian philosopher Gianni Carchia.  Name and Image crystalizes Gianni Carchia’s lifelong pursuit of the infinite philosophical object in the method and thought of one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century: Walter Benjamin. This intellectual biography touches upon the philosophy of language, historiography, aesthetics, temporality, and transcendental philosophy.  The book has the singular distinction of being both Gianni Carchia’s first and last work. In the spring of 1999, shortly before the resurgence of the disease that would lead to his death, Carchia began revising the graduate thesis he had defended at the University of Turin in 1971 with the title Truth and Language in the Young Walter Benjamin. At age twenty-four, the young scholar already demonstrated the incisive, axiomatic style of a master. The final version, retitled Name and Image, would become his testament. With a remarkable inversion, beginning and end seem to conjoin here in an authentically philosophical act, as though all the motifs of Carchia’s late thought—the conception of philosophy as event and witness, critique of method, and messianic finality—resonated together for the first time in this youthful text. The physiognomy of Benjamin that opens the work is the self-portrait of a figure who stands out ever more as one of the most just voices in twentieth-century Italian philosophy. Â

Although Voltaire had not intended to write a detective novel, his influence on detective literature is clear. Poe based his Dupin directly on Zadig, while Holmes's precise methods can be seen as a modern version of Zadig's own technique. In a memorable scene near the beginning, Zadig is approached by a royal entourage who make a general inquiry to him about the disappearance of two animals. Zadig has never seen the animals and yet – using the track marks before him – he paints such a faithful picture of them as to be mistaken for the thief himself. It is the method, and not the mystery, that earned Zadig the claim of being a possible contender for the first modern detective novel. "The first systematic detective in modern literature" – A Catalogue of Crime by Barzun and TaylorVathek (alternatively titled Vathek, an Arabian Tale or The History of the Caliph Vathek) by William Beckford is an eastern orientalist tale with a touch of the Arabian Nights (which had just been introduced to the west and whose exoticism had huge appeal). This novel provided the framework for the eastern adventure or orientalist genre of books that was to follow – whether adventure thriller or horror or mystic mysteries.

The business of imperial conflict: Why capitalism needs war.Maurizio LazzaratoÂ’s War and Money explores the connections between capitalist expansion, international economic conflict, and war, via an analysis of the imperialism of the American dollar. He examines why contemporary left-wing theorists such as Michel Foucault and Antonio Negri have failed to recognize war as a fundamental aspect of capitalism. Renewed readings of Marx, Lenin, and Rosa Luxemburg argue for class struggle against capitalist war as a fundamental aspect of leftist theory.

Born in 1926 in France, Foucault is one of those rare philosophers who has become a cult figure. Over the course of his life he dabbled in drugs, politics, and the Paris SM scene, all whilst striving to understand the deep concepts of identity, knowledge, and power. From aesthetics to the penal system; from madness and civilisation to avant-garde literature, Foucault was happy to reject old models of thinking and replace them with versions that are still widely debated today. A major influence on Queer Theory and gender studies (he was openly gay and died of an AIDS-related illness in 1984), he also wrote on architecture, history, law, medicine, literature, politics, and of course philosophy. In this Very Short Introduction Gary Gutting presents a wide-ranging but non-systematic exploration of some highlights of Foucault''s life and thought. Beginning with a brief biography to set the social and political stage, he then tackles Foucault''s thoughts on literature, in particular the avant-garde scene; his philosophical and historical work; his treatment of knowledge and power in modern society; and his thoughts on sexuality. This new edition includes feminist criticisms of Foucault''s apparently sexist treatment of the Jouy case, as well as a new chapter offering a unified overview of the Collège de France lectures, now a major focus of interest in Foucault. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

This book discusses Tyrš's body of work on art theory, aesthetics, and criticism in a comprehensive way, placing his ideas in the context of contemporary thought and analysing the main terms he uses. In certain respects, Tyrš's views remain in alignment with traditional views on the development of art history and have now been superseded. Nevertheless, Tyrš's contributions represent a unique attempt to provide a consistent understanding of the arts within the social context, demonstrating his effort to go beyond a merely positivist approach. Additionally, Tyrš continually seeks to connect the humanities with the natural sciences, especially with biology and evolutionary theory. A comprehensive portrait of Tyrš's many essays and other writings, when considered together with his multifaceted public engagement, shows his exceptional social commitment and dedication to democratic and peaceful principles. Vychází ve spolupráci s Masarykovou univerzitou.

No other country and no other period has produced a tradition of major aesthetic debate to compare with that which unfolded in German culture from the 1930s to the 1950s. In Aesthetics and Politics the key texts of the great Marxist controversies over literature and art during these years are assembled in a single volume. They do not form a disparate collection but a continuous, interlinked debate between thinkers who have become giants of twentieth-century intellectual history.

Today, artists are engaged in investigation. They probe corruption, state violence, environmental destruction and repressive technologies. At the same time, fields not usually associated with aesthetics make powerful use of it. Journalists and legal professionals pore over open source videos and satellite imagery to undertake visual investigations. This combination of diverse fields is what the authors call "investigative aesthetics": mobilising sensibilities often associated with art, architecture and other such practices to find new ways of speaking truth to power.This book draws on theories of knowledge, ecology and technology, evaluates the methods of citizen counter-forensics, micro-history and art, and examines radical practices such as those of Wikileaks, Bellingcat, and Forensic Architecture. Investigative Aesthetics takes place in the studio and the laboratory, the courtroom and the gallery, online and in the streets, as it strives towards the construction of a new 'common sensing'.The book is an inspiring introduction to a new field that brings together investigation and aesthetics to change how we understand and confront power today.To Nour Abuzaid for your brilliance, perseverance, and unshaken belief in the liberation of Palestine.

The way in which securities are traded is very different from the idealized picture of a frictionless and self-equilibrating market offered by the typical finance textbook. In Market Liquidity, Thierry Foucault, Marco Pagano, and Ailsa Röell offer a more accurate take on the liquidity of securities markets, its determinants, and its effects. They start from the assumption that not everyone is present at all times simultaneously on the market, and that even the limited number of participants who are have quite diverse information about the security''s fundamentals. As a result, the order flow is a complex mix of information and noise, and a consensus price only emerges gradually over time as the trading process evolves and the participants interpret the actions of other traders. Thus, a security''s actual transaction price may deviate from its fundamental value, as it would be assessed by a fully informed set of investors. Market Liquidity takes these deviations seriously, and explains why and how they emerge in the trading process and are eventually eliminated. Drawing on the analytical tools and empirical methods from a well-defined field within financial economics--market microstructure--the authors confront many striking phenomena in securities markets, from liquidity changes over time to temporary deviations from asset fair values. In the fully revised second edition of Market Liquidity, Foucault, Pagano, and Röell bring readers up to speed on recent changes in market structures and financial regulation. New chapters cover the relationship between financial instability and market liquidity, as well as the role and effects of algorithmic and high-frequency trading. Including new illustrative examples of market malfunction and novel insights from recent research on security markets, Market Liquidity provides a comprehensive and authoritative account on market microstructure.To access the companion website, which includes student and instructor resources, please visit https://global.oup.com/us/companion.websites/9780199936243/

Human beings change the world in order to know it more easily and reliably. That is, we construct social and material environments, or 'epistemic niches', and develop cognitive tools to better acquire, transmit, or store information. A queue, for example, is an environment where information about the order of arrival is conveyed by a spatial configuration. Queues are niches that transform an arduous memory task into a simpler perceptual one. In this important book, Alessandra Tanesini argues that knowledge and ignorance always occur within epistemic niches and that neither can be properly described or evaluated independently of the niches within which it is found. She explores two dominant themes. First, epistemic niches in the Global North and, increasingly, elsewhere are quantified niches that promote transforming the world into aggregates of data that are suitable for classification, measurement, ranking, standardisation, and automation. These niches carry distinctive epistemic benefits and disadvantages. Second, some epistemic niches are in the service of ignorance and oppression rather than knowledge. Tanesini offers analyses of some environments that promote epistemic exploitation, appropriation, cultural imperialism, and epistemic extractivism. Social Epistemology: The Niches for Knowledge and Ignorance is a groundbreaking work for students and scholars of philosophy, political theory, social psychology, and related disciplines.

Artist Jed Martin emerges from a ten-year hiatus with good news. It has nothing to do with his broken boiler, the approach of another lamentably awkward Christmas dinner with his father or the memory of his doomed love affair with the beautiful Olga. It is that, for his new exhibition, he has secured the involvement of none other than celebrated novelist Michel Houellebecq. The exhibition brings Jed new levels of global fame. But, his boiler is still broken, his ailing father flirts with oblivion and, worst of all, he is contacted by an inspector requiring his help in solving an unspeakable, atrocious and gruesome crime, involving none other than celebrated novelist Michel Houellebecq...Shortlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award 2013.
